This race could not be closer, and voters in states that will decide the election are seeing ad after ad after ad attacking Barack and me.

Even a great campaign, with the right candidate and the right ideas, can lose to that kind of strategy in the end.

I've seen it happen.

The dangers of being drastically outspent, especially right now at the end of this campaign, are real. Mitt Romney and the Republicans have $45 million more in the bank than we do for the final push. Together with outside groups, they're outspending us in nearly every battleground state this week. That's a problem, folks, unless we do something about it.

Please donate $5 or whatever you can today, so that if you meet Barack next week, you'll know you did everything you could to help him beat this back:

Hurricane Sandy

Automat --

As a Floridian, I know firsthand how devastating storms like Hurricane Sandy can be for our families and our communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been, and continue to be, affected by this storm.

It's important to remember that you can make a difference at this critical moment: Relief organizations like the American Red Cross are on the ground right now in all the communities affected by the storm.

If you'd like to find out more and see what you can do to help, please visit the American Red Cross right now:

This is a serious storm, but we are going to do what it takes to keep people safe and secure, and make sure the communities affected get the assistance they need. FEMA is working with state and local governments to respond effectively. We all owe a debt of thanks to the first responders who will be dealing with the immediate impact of the storm.

If you live in the storm's path, please listen to state and local authorities about where and how to take shelter and stay safe -- and encourage your friends and family to do the same. If you are asked to evacuate, please take that seriously.

For more information on how to prepare for this storm, visit Ready.gov.

And if you'd like to find out how to support relief efforts where they're needed most, please visit the Red Cross or your local relief organization:

Michelle and I are keeping everyone in the affected areas in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe.

This is a problematic fundraising gap with just 10 days to go -- and if it worries you, it should.

It translates into an onslaught of misleading attack ads targeting President Obama and other Democrats in tight races across the country.

With more resources, we can fight back on the ground and on the air.

But that's up to you. I'm proud of how we've pulled together and kept pace with the other side -- we can't let it all be taken away in the last few days of this election. There is too much on the line.

Help close this fundraising gap today and put President Obama and Democrats in a position to win:

P.S. -- When you donate today, you not only support Democrats when they urgently need it, you'll also be automatically entered to fly for free to Chicago with a guest, meet the President, and be there when he addresses the nation on Election Night. Chip in whatever you can today.

My grandmother and my uncle experienced circumstances that would break your heart. When they went to vote, they were asked impossible questions like, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" When they couldn't answer, they couldn't vote.

I once debated with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. about whether an African American would ever be elected president. He believed it would happen within the next 40 years at the time -- I believed it would never happen within my lifetime.

I have never been happier to have been proven wrong.

And since President Barack Obama's historic election, we've moved forward in courageous and beautiful ways. More students can afford college, and more families have access to affordable health insurance. Women have greater opportunities to get equal pay for equal work.

Yet as Rev. King wrote, "All progress is precarious."

So don't sit on the sidelines. Don't hesitate. Don't have any regrets. Vote.

Go, rise up, and let your friends and family in early vote states know where they can vote today. We must make our voices heard:

As offensive as it gets

Automat --

Last night in the Indiana senatorial debate, Republican Richard Mourdock said that when a woman becomes pregnant as the result of rape, "it's something God intended."

One day earlier, Mitt Romney, the leader of the Republican Party, appeared in a TV ad supporting Mourdock's campaign, making him the only candidate in the entire country for whom Romney cut an ad in the general election. The fact that he has chosen Mourdock as the best representative for the Republican Party tells you everything you need to know.

And Governor Romney still won't back off his endorsement of Mourdock, let alone demand that Mourdock's campaign pull down the ad.

Yes, Automat, these are the kinds of candidates that we're working so hard to defeat in less than two weeks. But we can't do it unless Democrats across the country have the resources they need to win -- donate $5 or more now.

As hard as it may be to believe that a politician in 2012 actually believes something so offensive and demeaning to women, these views are part and parcel of the Republican Party's platform on women's health.

At a Mourdock rally earlier in this election, Romney said, "This is a man who I want to see in Washington, to make sure that we can not just talk about changing things, but actually have the votes to get things changed."

This man could be your president-elect in 14 days.

As a woman and a mother, I can't imagine raising my son in a country led by politicians who think so little of women and their health. And I'm going to work as hard as I possibly can every single day to make sure that we beat these guys on Election Day -- but I can't do it alone.

Donate $5 or more now to ensure that the GOP's backwards views on women's rights don't become a reality:

Mitt Romney worked for me

Automat --

Typically when someone applies for a job, they offer references -- people who can speak to their past job performance.

I'm happy to volunteer to be a reference for Mitt Romney. He used to work for me when he was the governor of my state, Massachusetts. So speaking as a citizen, let me tell you as clear as I can: This man does not deserve a promotion.

Under Romney, the debt burden per capita was the highest of any state in the nation. He raised or created more than 1,000 taxes and fees on people across Massachusetts, while 278 wealthy residents in the state got a tax break. And Massachusetts plummeted to 47th out of 50 in job creation.

What does it say that the people who know Mitt Romney best trust him least? He is trailing by 20 points or more in the state where he was governor.

That should raise a few red flags, Automat.

If that's not what you want for the next four years, then chip in $5 or more and help President Obama and Democrats across the country beat Romney and other Republicans:

P.S. -- The other side has launched a massive ad blitz in battleground states, and we need to respond swiftly and powerfully. Please donate $5 or more today so that this campaign's grassroots operation has the resources it needs to compete and win.

I'm going all out

I actually can't overstate how important this deadline is -- how much we raise before midnight will determine whether we have the resources to get out every vote we need to win on Election Day.

In case you need a reminder of what's at stake: Mitt Romney and the Republicans will end federal funding of Planned Parenthood, get rid of Obamacare, turn Medicare into a voucher program, raise taxes on the middle class in order to cut them for millionaires and billionaires, and let Wall Street go back to writing its own rules.

It's go time. There are only 20 days left for us to do everything we can to win this thing. I'm going to leave it all out on the field -- and I hope you will, too.
